Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are legal in Chandler, and Arizona state law (SB 1350, A.R.S. 9-500.39) stops cities from banning them or zoning them out of residential areas. State law also bars caps on the number of units. Chandler regulates through licensing instead. Since August 1, 2023 (Ordinance No. 5048, City Code Chapter 22), every STR needs a city Short-Term Rental License for each location, at a nonrefundable $250 annual fee. Licenses run on the fiscal year and expire June 30, with renewals due by the last business day in June. Initial fees are prorated quarterly, from 25% to 100%, depending on your start date. Operators must also hold an Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax license, register the rental with Maricopa County, provide a 24/7 emergency contact, display the license number in all advertisements, and notify surrounding neighbors before operating. There is no owner-occupancy requirement, no primary-residence requirement and no maximum nights cap. Total tax on transient lodging is 11.67%, made up of a 4.40% Chandler rate and 7.27% state tax. Operating without a license can bring civil penalties of up to $1,000 per month, and enforcement is rated moderate. On the horizon, the League of Arizona Cities and Towns announced plans in December 2025 to seek legislation that would let cities cap licenses in saturated areas. A House bill advanced in March 2026, but no statewide change is final.
